how to obtain a blood drop
important information about avoiding infection:
- Never use a lancet or picking aid together with another person.
- Always use a new sterile lancet for each test. Lancets should only be used once.
- Try to prevent hand lotion, or oils or dirt getting in or onto the lancet or pricking aid.
1. Open the pricking aid by turning the cap anticlockwise and removing
it. Feed the lancet into the pricking aid up to the stop (without
turning it at the same time) (Fig. 11).
2. Unscrew the protective cap from the lancet (Fig. 12).
3. Place the cap on the pricking aid again and tighten it by turning it
clockwise (not too firmly).
The adjustable tip can be adjusted to 5 different pricking depths.
Turn the end cap in the appropriate direction until the arrow points
to the number for the required pricking depth (Fig. 13).
How to find a suitable pricking depth for yourself:
1-2 for soft or thin skin
3 for normal skin
4-5 for thick or calloused skin
